Three Weeks, Two Marathons, One Chronic Illness

Cleared for Takeoff

I went to the cardiologist today. At this point, he has cleared me to run the full marathon. He basically said that the right ventricular hypertrophy is not an issue at all. If it were left side, that would be a different story. We are still going to perform an exercise tolerance test, just to make sure, but it shouldn’t be an issue. The cool part about that is that I’ll get to see all my VO2Max information, Respiratory Quotient, etc. That will be good for the Heart Rate Training. I’ll write more when I have more time.
